17 Stories of Death and Desire: A horror short story collection

By Andrew Lyall

"A meaty collection of macabre stories... I would often catch myself holding my breath whilst reading... I can't wait to read more from this author."
Susan Earlam, author of EARTHLY BODIES and DARK IS THE WATER & OTHER WYRD TALES

"Impressive writing and immersive storytelling. Andrew Lyall's horror tales range from quiet creeps to full-out body horror, but always with a beautiful writing style...a stunning debut. Highly recommended. I can't wait for his first novel."
R Saint Claire, author of CODE RED, UNMASKED and FASHION VICTIMS.

"If you like dark, creepy and uncomfortable horror infused with a subtle yet wicked sense of humour, then you're in for a treat."
